[Note: With the film out now on DVD and Blu-ray, here's a reposting of our review of children's animated movie Smallfoot from the films cinematic release]

In Smallfoot Migo (Channing Tatum), a big-hearted Yeti, learns that the myths he’s be raised believing are false when he discovers a mysterious “smallfoot”, actually a human TV host (James Corden) desperately in need of a comeback.

Warner Bros.’ Smallfoot is as charming, inconsequential and uplifting as you may imagine any animated musical is today. It broods charm and charisma to an almost sickly extent, albeit perfectly adequate for its target audience. Filled with charming and satisfying musical numbers that are undeniably effective. Creating a warm and engaging atmosphere to the proceedings that unfold, yet the film itself,

After finally, officially being announced last September, Space Jam 2 is gearing up for production this summer. There has been a lot of talk over the years of doing a sequel to Michael Jordan's 1996 movie, which features a blend of live-action and animation, with the former NBA star playing basketball alongside the Looney Tunes. That talk finally materialized, with LeBron James taking on the lead role in the long-awaited sequel, which will finally begin filming in just a few months.

The current star of the Los Angeles Lakers was recently doing an interview in front of a large crowd during the NBA's All Star Weekend. At one point, LeBron James was asked what he has coming up, at which point he reminded the crowd that he's going to be in Space Jam 2. They went nuts, but he also dropped in that filming is set to begin this summer. Here's what he had to say.

“A Quiet Place,” won the top prize, Sound Editing (Effects and Foley), at the Golden Reel Awards bestowed by the Motion Picture Sound Editors (Mpse) on Sunday. One of its Oscar rivals for Best Sound Editing, “Bohemian Rhapsody,” picked up up a pair of awards while another, “Roma,” won one (foreign language). “Spider-Man: Into the Spider Verse” claimed both the animated and music awards.

The Oscar frontrunner in this below-the-line race, “First Man,” was shut out at these awards as was the fifth nominee, “Black Panther.” But fans of “First Man” should not be too disheartened. This guild’s track record at predicting the eventual winner at the Academy Awards is spotty.

Last year, all five of the Oscar nominees for Best Sound Editing numbered among the Mpse contenders. Eventual Oscar winner “Dunkirk” lost the category equivalent to “Blade Runner 2049.” The WWII epic did win for music over the sci-fi film.

Deadline is reporting that Sony is moving forward with a feature film adaptation of Shrink, a webcomic series from Deadpool co-creator Rob Liefeld, which revolves around Dr. Jessica Powers, a female psychiatrist with superhero clientele.

The project is being produced by Liefeld, Doug Belgrad (Charlie’s Angels) and Adam Fields (Donnie Darko), and is described as “a high concept twist on Analyze This”, which Sony hopes will “mine the same comedic action vein” as 20th Century Fox’s hit Deadpool movie franchise.

Fields is said to have discovered an old script for Shrink by Glenn Ficarra and John Requa which Sony first acquired back in 2000. Although the rights to the comic had since lapsed, the studio then quickly signed a new deal with Liefeld.

Kick off the kids’ February half-term in style as Smallfoot arrives on Blu-ray, 3D Blu-ray, and DVD on 18th February and on Digital Download from 4th February. To celebrate this release, we are giving 3 lucky winners the chance to get their hands on a copy of the Blu-ray.

Smallfoot turns the Bigfoot legend upside down when Migo, a bright young Yeti (Channing Tatum), finds something he thought didn’t exist—a human! The ‘Smallfoot’, Percy (James Corden), throws the Yeti community into uproar over what else might exist beyond their snowy village. This is an epic story about friendship and courage!

Exclusive: Shrink, a original IP based on Deadpool creator Rob Liefeld’s story about a female psychiatrist with a superhero clientele is being produced by Doug Belgrad and his production company 2.0 with producer Adam Fields and Liefeld at Sony Pictures. The project would mine the same comedic action vein as the R-rated Deadpool franchise, which is a wise-cracking, subversive twist on superhero movies.

The story has been described as a high-concept twist on Analyze This, and we hear that this was a mid-six against a seven figure deal for the comic book creator. Sony had no comment.

The project was found by Fields who basically dived into Sony’s 30 years of abandoned development and pulled out what looks to be a plumb project and potentially huge action/comic franchise for the studio from one of the signature names in the comic book industry — Liefeld, who became a fan-favorite artist in

Set in the distant future, “Dune” tells the story of Paul Atreides, whose family accepts control of the desert planet Arrakis. The planet is the only source of the coveted spice melange, which means control of Arrakis is highly contested among the noble families. After Paul and his family are betrayed, the story explores themes of politics, religion and man’s relationship to nature, as

International box office ticked up 1% over 2017 to a record $29.8 billion, helping to drive worldwide moviegoing up 2.7% to a new high-water mark of $41.7 billion. Most of the global increase came from North America, which surged 7% to $11.9 billion. “Avengers: Infinity War” became the seventh film to gross more than $1 billion internationally, with $1.37 billion. In all, 40 foreign titles hit the top 100 (23 of them from China), led by “Operation Red Sea” with more than $611 million — good enough for the sixth spot on the year’s international chart.

All five of our predicted Oscar nominees for Best Sound Editing number among the contenders for the Golden Reel Awards bestowed by the Motion Picture Sound Editors (Mpse). Oscar frontrunner “First Man” reaped three bids across the seven film categories as did two of its closest Oscar rivals — “A Quiet Place” and “Roma” — as well as “Mission: Impossible – Fallout,” which we have in sixth place. The other two likely Oscar nominees — “Black Panther” and and “A Star Is Born” — each reaped two bids.

The 66th annual edition of these awards will take place on Feb. 17 at the Westin Bonaventure Hotel in Los Angeles. Sound wiz Stephen H. Flick will be feted for his lifetime of achievement and Antoine Fuqua is to receive the Filmmaker Award.

‘Roma,’ Alfonso Cuaron‘s nostalgic ode to his ’70s childhood in Mexico City, won over the 84-member Alliance of Women Film Journalists — including me. The stunning black-and-white Netflix release pocketed five Eda wins: Best Film, Best Cinematography, Best Non-English Film, Best Editing and Best Director. Coming in second were those cutthroat royals in “The Favourite” with four wins, including Olivia Colman as Best Actress.

The all-female group’s 12th annual competition once again salutes the best – and some of the worst – in the world of film with 25 categories in three sections. There are the general Best of Awards, Female Focus Awards and Eda Special Mention Awards whose nominees are picked by those Awfj members who send in a nominating ballot. There is room for the good, including Viola Davis of “Widows” receiving the “Actress Defying Age and Ageism Award,” and the bad, as in Jennifer Lawrence of “Red Sparrow,” who

The domestic box office hit $11.9 billion in 2018, up 6.7% over the previous year, and smashing the record $11.38 billion set in 2016. The top three earners — “Black Panther,” “Avengers: Infinity War” and “Incredibles 2” — all bested 2017’s B.O. champ, “Star Wars: The Last Jedi” ($517 million). Promisingly, in an era of increased entertainment options, more people went to the movies in 2018: Attendance is expected to rise more than 4% over the prior year. Disney took 26% of this year’s market share, outpacing Warner Bros., its closest rival, by more than $1 billion.

A Yeti is convinced that the elusive creatures known as “humans” really do exist.

Out of this year’s animated films, Smallfoot comes as a nice surprise. The film tells a pretty concise story with a good cast, pretty funny moments and surprisingly deep themes that most animated films don’t touch upon. The film is both entertaining and meaningful for young and old viewers alike, even if it doesn’t quite reach the highs of some other films in the animation genre. The blu-ray has a few features to keep younger viewers interested, but not a whole lot on how the film itself was made. Still, Smallfoot is an enjoyable enough film for audiences.

The Golden Globe nominations were announced on Thursday morning, December 6, and just as interesting as the films and performances that were nominated are some of the top contenders that didn’t make the cut. Scroll down for some of the most noteworthy omissions, and check out the complete list of nominations here.

Among the biggest disappointments was the significant under-performance of the Neil Armstrong biographical drama “First Man.” It earned noms for Best Supporting Actress (Claire Foy) and Best Score (Justin Hurwitz), but Ryan Gosling was lost in space for his leading performance, Damien Chazelle was left out for his directing, and the movie was absent from Best Film Drama.

Exclusive: Count Oscar winner Common in for Charlie Day’s independent Hollywood satire El Tonto. Common’s role is being kept under wraps, and that’s because it’s a pivotal one.

In El Tonto, Day does double duty, directing his first feature and playing a mute simpleton who upon stepping off the bus for the first time in Los Angeles is thrust into stardom, only to ultimately lose it all. Filming wraps this week.

The Best Animated Feature race at the upcoming Oscars could very well be the most competitive in years. Disney and Pixar films have dominated this category since 2012, and while they have two films slated this time around, they may run into problems when it comes to winning. That’s because both “Incredibles 2” and “Ralph Breaks the Internet” are sequels, and sequels haven’t had much success in winning Best Animated Feature since the category’s inception in 2001. If Oscar voters have hangups about rewarding a sequel in this category, this could open up the race in a way we haven’t seen in a while.

In the 17 years of Best Animated Feature’s existence, only one sequel has taken the prize: 2010’s “Toy Story 3.” It should be noted that even in this case,

Written by Coto, neXt is described as a propulsive, fact-based thriller grounded in the latest A.I. research. It features a brilliant but paranoid former tech CEO who joins a Homeland Cybersecurity Agent and her team to stop a terrifying A.I. outbreak that threatens us all.

Coto is a 24 veteran who served as an executive producer on the original Fox series, the followup limited series Live Another Day and reboot series Legacy, which he also co-created. Coto has extensive sci-fi background; he created Odyssey 5 and also worked on Star Trek: Enterprise

Set on a moon-base for off-world drilling, the darkly comedic story follows two jaded workers whose excitement at the prospect of incoming human company is dashed when they are instead sent ten clones. Shoot is being lined up for next summer.
